OP is an example of how AI-generated images are usually clutter. Not only do the images not add anything meaningful to the text, and arbitrary parts of the images could be deleted or randomized without affecting the reader's understanding, most of them could be randomly shuffled without anyone noticing. (Which makes them worse then clipart/stockart: if an article swapped the 'hacker hoodie' stockart with the 'neural net brain circuit' stockart, some readers would at least briefly be confused.)
Came here to say exactly this. The ”author” didn’t even bother to use a decent quality image generator. The first image I saw maxed out my AI slop filter and I stopped reading. Made me wonder how much of the article was written by ChatGPT.
Agree wholeheartedly, it was unfortunate that the author did not use a good image generator, or even correctly prompt Dall-E to get better images, his take on using AI then became rather flimsy. I gave up at this point!
